Excerpt, trivia question, Poem, and Book Covers from Melange Author JoAnne Myers

Hello everyone, are you ready for your contest question? Here it is. What are the names of my two dogs?  Tell me, and chose which book you would like.  The answser is in my author bio.

 

The investigative pendulum swings back and forth, and side to side. One suspect after another becomes primary only to be set aside for another. The F.B.I. is repeatedly attacked for its beliefs, while the police and sheriff’s office blunder forward into a decision, right or wrong. Most of the area’s people are happy with the results. The two major holdouts-Walker Harmon and Jackie Reeves-are still not.

 

I COULD

I could count the passing years,

or build an endless bridge.

Or count the loss of past lovers,

hoping someday to make amends.

I could walk a million miles,

or sail an ocean ridge.

Nothing is forever,

and everything depends.

I could tell you my secrets,

and hope they all come true.

Or give my love to a stranger,

someone just passing through.

I could wait until I am older,

to see if I am wiser.

Or count my blessings now,

and while away the hours.

I could make my dreams last forever,

by locking them away.

Or make new ones with you,

if only you had stayed.

I could forgot all my troubles,

and all the wrong I’ve done.

Or remember how happy we were,

back when we were young.

I could dance in the dark,

wishing with all my might,

that you were here with me,

till the morning light.
I could love you forever.

What a simple thing to do.

If only you were here,

and if only we weren’t through.
